Why the Ukraine Crisis is Really about Oil & Gas | REAL MATTERS

Since 2013 Ukraine has been in a struggle between Russia and Europe leading to an ongoing civil war which has lead to an estimated 10,000 deaths. One aspect of the war that hasn’t been really talked about is how Gas and Oil play a major part in the conflict. Lets look at how this crisis is really about an energy thirsty Europe and its dependence on Russian Oil Pipelines... ( 2016 - 2017)
___________
Lets start with a brief look at the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Unrest began in Ukraine as early as in 2013 when Ukrainian President Yanokovich deemed to be Pro - Russian suspended an association agreement with the EU which would have started the process of bringing closer ties. This sparked mass unrest in the country especially, arguably supported by covert entities in the EU. culminating in the February 2014 revolution, which removed Yanukovych and his government with a Nationalist leaning government with a Pro- EU stance.
However , that did not appeal to many eastern parts of the country who had much closer ties to Russia. Regions like Donbass in the East and Crimea in the South began protesting against the revolution, with heavy support from the Russian Government. This then led to the Annexation of Crimea widely supported in public elections but a also with covert Russian Military who were known as the “little green men” due to the lack of insignia. In March of 2014 began the war of Donbass when separatist forces back by Russia attempted total control of the regions and were met with force with the Ukrainian Army now being equipped and trained by western allies.

Putin Thanks India For Its Stand On Ukraine

This video shows you that Putin Thanks India For Its stand on Ukraine.
President Vladimir Putin thanked India for taking a “restrained and objective” stand on Russia’s muscle flexing in Ukraine.
Addressing a joint meeting of the Russian Parliament on Tuesday on the occasion of Crimea’s reunification with Russia Mr. Putin singled out China and India as the countries that showed understanding for Russia’s role in the Ukraine crisis.
“We are grateful to all those who understood our actions in Crimea,” Mr. Putin said. “We are grateful to the people of China, whose leadership sees the situation in Crimea in all its historical and political integrity. We highly appreciate India’s restraint and objectivity.”
India did not join the Western powers’ condemnation of Russia’s intervention in Crimea and kept a low profile on the issue.
The Ministry of External Affairs on March 6 issued neutral comment expressing concern for the fate of “more than 5000 Indian nationals” in Ukraine and called for “sincere and sustained diplomatic efforts to ensure that issues between Ukraine and its neighbouring countries are resolved through constructive dialogue”.
National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon gave a clearer indication of where India’s sympathies lied when he said in reply to a question, “There are legitimate Russian and other interests involved and we hope they are discussed and resolved.”
India has not reacted to the Ukrainian Ambassador’s request to recognise the new interim government in Kiev and to voice “support against the Russian invasion”.

Why the West – Not Putin – Is Responsible for the Ukraine Crisis, lecture by John Mearsheimer

Lecture by Professor Mearsheimer, Why the West – Not Putin – Is Responsible for the Ukraine Crisis, was held on 9th December in the Main Auditorium of Collegium Novum at the Jagiellonian University. It was organized by the Polish Society of International Studies and the Association of International and Area Studies of the Jagiellonian University. The lecture was opened by Professor Andrzej Mania, and then it was presided over by doctor Marcin Grabowski from the Chair in the History of Diplomacy and International Politics.
Our guest from the USA discussed the so-called Ukraine crisis from the perspective of offensive realism, a theory of international relations postulated by Professor Mearsheimer himself and quite influential around the world. The theory recognizes regional and world powers as the main actors shaping international relations and limiting the smaller states\' and their nations\' right to independence.
The first and most detailed part of the lecture was devoted to the roots of the Ukraine crisis. On the one hand, Professor said that the source of the current crisis lies in the long-term direct actions of the West to increase western influence in Ukraine by promising membership in the NATO and the EU and the support it had lent to pro-Western elites within Ukraine. On the other hand, the determination of the Russian Federation to keep exercising its influence in this state is another source of the problem.

Stephen F. Cohen: The Ukrainian Crisis - It's not All Putin's Fault

Why Cold War Again?
Stephen F. Cohen, Professor Emeritus, Russian Studies and Politics, New York University and Princeton University; Contributing Editor, The Nation
In conversation with Dr. Gloria Duffy, President and CEO, The Commonwealth Club
The consensus view in Washington and in the U.S. mainstream media is that the Ukrainian crisis, which some have called the worst international crisis of our time, is due solely to Russian aggression under President Vladimir Putin. Stephen F. Cohen’s view, on the other hand, is that U.S. policy since the 1990s is largely responsible, and that unless this is acknowledged at least in part by Washington, no successful negotiated end to the crisis will be possible.

NATO ramps up military presence in Eastern Europe amid Ukraine crisis

The US-led NATO coalition has opened a new military base in Eastern Europe amid a deepening crisis in Ukraine.
Stoltenberg was speaking at the opening ceremony in the Lithuanian capital. The military base is one of the six new headquarters of the US-led coalition in Eastern Europe. Stoltenberg said the alliance has to respond to what he described as an assertive Russia. Also, the Lithuanian president welcomed the new bases in the region, saying they would ensure the quick movement of troops. NATO has ramped up its military presence in Eastern Europe in recent months following the continued conflict between Kiev forces and pro-Russia militia groups in eastern Ukraine.
